ian1964 10,761 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Preston North End: Ex-Rangers Striker Andy Little signs deal Northern Ireland striker Andy Little has signed a two-year deal with League One club Preston North End following his release by Rangers in May. Little, 25, has scored more than 30 goals for Rangers over the past two seasons and can also play full-back. Preston manager Simon Grayson said that Little would bring "good qualities" to his squad. "I am delighted that he has chosen us over quite a few other teams," added the Preston manager. "Andy has a fantastic goal record in Scotland and he can handle playing for a big club, as he has shown with Rangers. "He will bring real pace to the striking department and that is something we have been looking to add." Enniskillen man Little has won eight Northern Ireland caps. He scored 25 goals in the 2012-13 campaign but struggled with injury during when Rangers won the League One title last season. The forward joined Rangers' youth ranks in 2006 and made his first-team debut in 2009. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/27955885 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Preston is a huge step down from Rangers, but at least he got a club and league 1 isn't that bad a level for a player like Andy Little. Best of luck to the guy. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Preston is a huge step down from Rangers, but at least he got a club and league 1 isn't that bad a level for a player like Andy Little. Best of luck to the guy. League 1 is a considerable step up from SFL 1 though. He's not a great player but I'd have him over Daly. He should have been the main striker for the last 2 years. His development has been hindered by his manager. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 919 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Good luck to him, hope he does well. He did a good job for us under the circumstances and was another who stayed when we needed him. Granted running out at Preston isn't as good as running out at Ibrox every other week but career wise League one is a better standard than the Championship and playing away to Sheff Utd is better than away to Queen of the south. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, definitely a huge step down, although I mean the Club, not the league. A hammering almost 130 years ago doesn't mean Preston NE are comparable to Rangers as a Club. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
